Minor:

Hard luck to our minors who were
beaten by Kildangan in the North Minor Hurling Final last Saturday. See
match report

The club would like to thank
all the players for their efforts over the year along with the team mentors.
Attention will now turn to the outstanding Minor Football fixture and with some of
these players involved with the Junior and U21 teams they have the chances to
bring more accolades to the club.

Coaching Plan:

Newport GAA launched its coaching
plan last Friday evening in the clubhouse. The coaching plan is based on best
international practice, in the development of players from under 6

and for their lifetime and
for the coaches who train the players. The plan was the brainchild of the late
Professor Pat Duffy, who served as coaching officer prior to his untimely death
in August 2014. The task of completing the plan was overseen by our present
Coaching Officer Shane Gavin and the Coaching committee. Chairperson Padraig Tobin
paid tribute to Pat and to the Shane for creating such a comprehensive document
that will be of significant value to all our players. He thanked Deirdre and the
Duffy family for being present as the club acknowledged the legacy
Pat has left to the club.

All Ireland Handball:

The club would like to wish
the best of luck to Barry O’Meara & Daniel Healy from Newport

Juvenile Handball Club who
are representing Tipperary in the All Ireland U17 Doubles 60x30 final v Wexford
in Ballymoe, Co. Roscommon this Sunday.
